He won 2017 Young Journalist of the Year at the British Press Awards and in 2018 was a Stern Fellow at The Washington Post.[1][3] In 2020, Pogrund and Patrick Maguire published Left Out: The Inside Story of Labour Under Corbyn.

In 2021, Pogrund and John Collingridge won a British Journalism Award for anti-corruption journalism for their reporting on the Greensill scandal.[4][3] In 2022 he made the shortlist for the Paul Foot Award, for reporting on how Prince Charles's household had allegedly promised honours in exchange for donations to the Prince's charities.[5]

Pogrund also broke the story of BBC chairman Richard Sharp failing to declare perceived conflicts of interest, which ultimately resulted in Sharp's resignation in April 2023.[6]
